BIS CERTIFICATION FOR PALM FATTY ACIDS IS 12067:1987

Palm Fatty Acids, or PFA, are important chemicals derived from palm oil. These compounds are incredibly versatile and have a wide range of uses in different industries due to their unique properties. PFA is a mixture of different types of fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated, including palmitic acid and oleic acid. They can change from being solid at room temperature to becoming a liquid when heated.

These fatty acids are like multi-purpose ingredients in various industries like Soap and Detergents, Cosmetics and Personal Care Products, Food Industry, Industrial Lubricants, Pharmaceuticals, Biodiesel Production. However, it's important to be aware of the environmental concerns related to palm derived products like PFA.

The process of making palm oil can harm the environment, leading to deforestation and loss of habitats. To tackle these issues, it's crucial to use sustainable practices when producing and sourcing Palm Fatty Acids for various industries.

The government, through the Palm Fatty Acids (Quality Control) Order of 2022, has decided that Palm Fatty Acids must meet certain quality standards. To ensure this, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it a requirement for Palm Fatty Acids to get a special certification from them. This certification is like a guarantee that the Palm Fatty Acids are of good quality and meet the set standards. It's a way to make sure that when people use these acids in various products, they are safe and effective.
